    I don't think that is on the coins but has something to do with lighting and how the photo was taken.

    The coins have dropped thru the insert.

    most likely heat damaged the slabs

    Submitter selected optional gelatin gasket. It was discontinued very quickly.

    Any vodka or rum added to that gelatin? Worth the crack outs at that point :D

    The insert has turned into an amoeba and is devouring the coins.

    I wonder if PCGS will re-slab them without having to pay for re-grading.

    I would just spend them.

    They appear to be heat damaged inserts....Possibly a hot car as mentioned above - or some other source of environmental heat. Cheers, RickO

    Those S/N's are pretty close together, as in a batch order. Nice older solid gasket holders which were exposed to some pretty extreme high temperature. I wonder where the others are and how well they fared, if under similar circumstances. I would not have them reholdered unless there was a special circumstance / heirlooms.

    It’s heat damage like being in a fire (if you recall some of the threads about the Paradise Camp Fire, there were slabs that looked like that).

    The coins believed they were wrongly encapsulated and tried to break out.

    Why was only one labeled clad? And why in the first place? And do you think the 2001 is indicative of the time period?

    I had a freshly slabbed coin that fell out of the gasket during shipping. PCGS reslabbed it at no charge including shipping both ways. Contact customer service to start the process.
